The most exciting politician of the day. * * Independent * * Like Bill Clinton, he has the knack of weaving together the personal and the anecdotal with the political and the conceptual, so that each point seems both persuasive and commonsensical. * * Guardian * * This may be the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician. * * Joe Klein, Time [on Dreams From My Father] * * The speeches are crafted for Obama as a great orator; on the page they still sing with sincerity. -- Ian Finlayson * * The Times * * [The manifesto] should finally put paid to the common misconception that Obama is all style but no substance . . . when the reader reaches Obama's speeches . . . it feels a little like stepping into a Ferrari. The man who has become US president is living proof that words matter. He single-handedly placed soaring, thoughtful and eloquent rhetoric back into the centre of political discourse. -- Niall Stanage * * Sunday Business Post * *

Reseña del editor:

The election of Barack Obama as President of the USA is a defining moment for all of us. After years of failed policies and a failed politics from Washington, change has arrived. Barack Obama now has the chance to reclaim the American dream. He has proven to be a new kind of leader-one who can bring people together, be honest about the challenges we all face, and move his nation forward. Change We Can Believe In outlines his vision for America and its standing in the world. In these pages you will find bold and specific ideas about how Barack Obama plans to fix the ailing American economy and strengthen its middle class, make health care affordable for all, achieve energy independence, and keep America safe in a dangerous world. Change We Can Believe In asks us not just to believe in Barack Obama's ability to bring change to Washington, it asks us to believe in the ability of each of us to change the world.
